Marie Sklodowska, 25, is studying science at the Sorbonne—one of the only universities in the world that has begun to admit women. A thousand miles from her native Poland, with no money and the odds stacked against any woman daring to pursue a career in such a rigorous field, Marie throws herself into her studies. She’s certain that to succeed in a man’s world, she will have to go it alone.

Narrator was good. Story blah. Guess I was hoping to learn more about Mrs. Curie’s life and work.. ended abruptly.

This "lost race" novel begins as an exciting African adventure. Leonard Outram is a British adventurer who is in Africa seeking his fortune. He becomes part of the rescue of a Portuguese woman from a large slave camp. Leonard, his companion Otter, and the girl set off and find the people of the mist. They then impersonate gods and priests with the hope of getting the people's hoard of jewels.

I read several reviews which said this was a rollicking good read. I had read She, years ago and enjoyed it then. I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much now. I hung on until chapter 11, but was unable to overlook the author’s inherent racism. Not to mention the story seems to be going nowhere, there is little to like or admire about any of the characters, and well...
racism.
